Since their split, Ant McPartlin and Lisa Armstrong are said to have kept their distance but they put their history aside after hearing the devastating news about Hurley

Ant McPartlin and Lisa Armstrong saw each other for the first time since 2018 as they said a heartbreaking goodbye to their adorable Labrador dog Hurley, it has been reported.

The inconsolable former couple, who are thought to have barely spoken since their split eight years ago, reunited at the vet in his final moments after being told the beloved pooch was too ill to make a full recovery says the Mail.

The couple were so in love with the pet that neither could part ways and they continued to ‘co parent’ him even after their break-up and divorce, but are thought to have avoided seeing each other during handovers.

Last week Ant put his work on Britain’s Got Talent to an abrupt halt, as he made a speedy dash to the vet to be with Hurley before he was sadly put to sleep. It has been reported that his ex Lisa was also at the surgery at the same time.

Ant and Lisa are said to have come together in a consulting room at a veterinary practice in west London, near to his home, putting their personal grievances aside.

Lisa was famously married to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! host Ant after meeting as teenagers, but after 11 years of marriage, they were granted a divorce in 2018. At one stage they were TV’s golden couple – but the pair had a host of ups and downs during their marriage, including their struggle to start a family.

For Ant credited Hurley for helping him through one of the most difficult time in his life and he even named one of his companies after his pet. He and Dec Donnelly are both directors of Hurley Promotions Ltd. They also have a company named after Dec’s dog, called Rocky Promotions Ltd.

Make-up artist to the stars Lisa, who helps to create the glitz and glamour on Strictly Come Dancing, has reportedly found love with actor Grant Kilburn, 34, with the pair quietly dating since December.

The 49-year-old is thought to have been introduced to Grant by her pals, former Strictly pro Kevin Clifton and his partner Stacey Dooley. Stacey and Kevin, who also have a two-year-old daughter Minnie after falling for each other on the hit BBC show in 2018, had been on tour with Grant in the play 2:22 A Ghost Story until the end of 2025.
